I'm curious what tricks you're using. It seems to take a long time, but I do it so much and try to squeeze all I can out of it. factorio-coal-final.jpg My rule is 500 or more ore per electric miner. It's working out well. To setup this coal patch, first find the top, left, bottom and right edge wher...

I wanted to share these videos about Cheaters in multiplayer FPS games. It's cause of this community being technically gifted and felt it's worthy info for some. These videos, they'll ruin you if you play popular multiplayer FPS games. I'm serious. If you enjoy popular multiplayer FPS games and want...

Good point.

... Allow me to show you one extreme example to that theory. Could be the future, who knows. So nVidia, they wrote a paper for an AI that would beat Minecraft, but more than that. It wrote instructions to perform the tasks in the game that are required to beat Minecraft as fast a possible. It impro...

Wanted to add there is a slightly buggy solution to save it in Steam Cloud. Using the new Steam overlay which allows you to save notes per game. You can even access those notes and edit them on the game page in your library. I say buggy as I use it too much and it's crashed the entire overlay for m...

Thanks Qon. I'm checking it out right now. I love this game. To add a bit to what Qon said, you can also organize these into folders to keep them separate from your regular saves (although you'd need to use your OS's file manager to do that). And that'd be uploaded to the steam cloud as a sub-direct...

Felt it relevant to current day Factorio.

It's on my top video game trailer list, there's only 2 videos on that list, to get there I have to want to watch them over & over.

It's time for a new run in Factorio! Create new world. Choose one of the presets. Make the same change again for this type of run. Which settings did this type of run use again? Where are my notes? I'm curious why that's not automated?! https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=45083 It's been ask...

A push button for a circuit network. Not an original idea, but want to make sure it's shared properly. 1:38 is when the push button is first featured and demo'd.

I am very interested in the game but I have a few questions/concerns before I actually buy it.

Did you buy it?

Did mikey like?

Add Blueprints as a downloadable mod. This somewhat makes them a mod. But more importantly cool creations should be shared and this is going to create some cool stuff. Also, speedrunners can use blueprints, but not mods. I would love to have a Blueprint portal in game. That would allow blueprint de...

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/blueprint-variables this mod provides parameterization on blueprints right now. But since i share my blueprints, everyone that wants to use parameterized blueprints needs to have this mod installed as well and that makes it unusable for my case. I've been working on a ...

Whoa!

What logic update? Can you show me where to look for more info on what's proposed?

I joined it with this thread, cause the mentioned where two suggestions and this one hits exactly. See also the linked list article above! The linked thread is an amazing idea, I had a similar one, but didn't want to suggest something that would take more than a day to implement on my first post :)...
